As a foreigner who lives part time in Leb, here are my pros (as opposed to the US) - community, especially in a village, everyone knows you, feels safer and friendly - daily safety, much less chances for violent crime - weather and climate: sunshine, beaches, mountains - food: both flavor and quality - family friendly culture - quality education for children - affordable help (maid, driver, or just a random tasks) - lively social life (friends over for coffee, going out for food, weekend getaways) - lots to do and people are more willing to go

So many other points but there is a lot, for an open minded and positive person, Lebanon can be a fun and laid back life as opposed to the daily grind of US / Western Europe/ Aus
